The last zucchini

Tried another bread, this time banana zucchini bread and it is very good. I followed this recipe except for using only 2 tsp cinnamon instead of 1 Tbsp, left out cranberries, and changed nuts to 1 cup of pecans. I love walnuts but like pecans with banana breads. My husband's step-monster (mother) made the best I've ever had and she always used pecans. Toward the end of her years, we decided to not indulge in her foods. Just in case.

I have a question for you. Since my body is expanding like a rehydrating sponge, I ordered a few new tunics in XL. Nothing that I have fits me. The large fits, but the outline during a walk away is very noticeable. The extra large is bigger everywhere and may look a little sloppy, but the walk away is just a lot of fabric without an outline. Which would you choose?

Mike is here installing the last three beams with Mark's help. He may consider the wainscot after I make up my mind, we won't know for a while but it would be an easy job for him. I think doing the smaller jobs and work he enjoys now and then would be good for him.

Thanks for the pumpkin suggestions! I never thought of buying the fake ones nor did I think of spray painting them white. My nephew's girlfriend lives in Ohio and has seen them at a market so she will check for me. First on her list is getting the traps for Carole's feral family. A long haired calico mom and two long haired yellow kittens with white paws. She works with a group in Ohio that handles feral neutering and we're hoping to get them trapped. Our locals never followed through, never sent the paperwork, never called with the info.

The bread looks and sounds delicious!! I don't do much cooking anymore. I like my clothes to be loose fitting. I get most of my shirts and some sweaters from www.Roamans.com. Are you getting my comments? I get an email that says you aren't

Just my opinion, but I would think the XL would be more comfortable. I have some of both sizes and find the XL more loose fitting. Want to try your new recipe for zucchini bread. Don't know what it is about the nuts. I always use walnuts and have made walnut pie instead of pecan. I find it to be delicious. Have a happy day. You have the patience of "Jobe" ! Hope the feral kitties will be caught and taken care of.Charlotte in Va.

IMHO, go with the larger size. Not much makes a person look heavier (no matter what size they are) than too-small clothing. I think styles are swinging back to looser fit again anyway. If they seem *too* baggy, you could add a loose belt or take in the side seams just a bit.
